St. Mary's church has a square tower with a peal of six bells and dates back to the 12th century. The building was altered by the Victorians in the late 1800s and it is in this neo-Norman form that it now stands. The chancel dates from 1847 and the nave and north chapel from 1861. The west tower and the tower arch date from the 14th century. The south porch is neo-Norman but, on walking through the Victorian porch, a fine original 12th century doorway greets the visitor. The church includes some interesting features including a lead-lined Norman font, one of only twenty in England, and a Lady Chapel refurbished with materials from the now defunct Munderfield Chapel.
